Personal Side

With prepping for the Ukraine trip & a September wedding.....
I have the privilege of working on cookies for Back-to-School and autumn ahead of the game.
It's always fun to move on to the next season/holiday.
Each year......there's the chance to implement all the new things you've learned in the last year.

I can't begin to tell you how much fun I'm having decorating cookies these last few weeks.
Perhaps its because I took a week off and regrouped.
I'm learning how to create a reasonable number of cookies......
and enjoy lots of new shapes, techniques, color, and designs.
It doesn't feel like work when doing it this way. :)

I only have a month until I go to Ukraine.....
And yes, we have our tickets....so the trip is on, for now.
People ask me if it's safe.
We are told by our very good friends that the area we are going to is safe.
We trust that they would tell us if it was not.
And if things change, we won't go.

But my excitement is building as I anticipate being with all the people
and celebrating one more year together.
I'm certain we will not even begin to take that for granted ever again......
and our goodbyes will be a bit different as the possibilities of another year could change things.

This next week I'm working on autumn cookies.
I'm using new custom cutters from Creative Cookier.
Can't wait!!!
